Also that attitude of teachers influenced Health Education (X2cal = 43.3 < X2tab 66.9, df = 9, P > 0.05). While motivation influenced students behaviour towards Health Education (X2cal = 16 < X2tab 14.07, df = 7, P > 0.05). Also, teachers personality influenced students’ attitude (X2cal = 28.1 < X2tab 14.07, df = 7, P > 0.05) and teaching method influenced students attitude towards Health Education (X2cal = 26.01 < X2tab 16.91, df = 9, P > 0.05).

The knowledge of health education significantly influences the teaching and learning of health education in the Junior Secondary Schools. This implies that many students who learn Health Education have poor background in the subject. Finally, it was found that the teaching method of Health Education significantly influences the teaching and learning of health education in schools.
